To further assist their clients and real estate investment goals, Erica and Matthew have added Joe Peters, their in house Multi-Family Investment Specialist to the team. Learn more about Joe and what he can do for you below:
Carter Chickering
Carter M. Chickering has partnered with Matthew Pouliot and Erica Wigell to better serve their clients. Carter was born and raised in San Francisco by a family that has been in the hospitality industry in the Bay Area for four generations. He left San Francisco to receive a BA in Hospitality Management at Endicott College in Massachusetts with the intent to return to the Napa Valley and become a vintner. After working in wine in the Napa Valley following college, Carter decided to return home to his roots in San Francisco. Residential real estate quickly became Carter’s focus. Finding what fits a client's tastes and suits one's lifestyle was a major part of Carter’s passion for wine and that remains true in Real Estate. Carter is a skilled negotiator, energetic, and will go the extra mile with no factor more important to him than making sure his clients find the home of their dreams.
Joe Peters | Multi-Family Investment Specialist
Living in 12 states and 4 countries, before he was 20 years old has driven Joe to obsess over the comforts of home. Joe’s passion for design, matched with his exceptional financial foresight, have allowed for his repeated success with multi-family investments. Armed with a Masters of Science in Real Estate Development from Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture, and 15 years of experience in the Bay Area, Joe is equipped to lead projects through all stages of development - from financial evaluation, acquisition, entitlement, design development, construction, asset management to eventual disposition.
The bulk of Joe’s career has focused on concurrent new and renovation projects throughout the Bay Area, averaging 150-250 units per property and $40-60M in development costs. In the process, Joe forged strong relationships with local architects, land use attorneys, contractors, city staff and elected officials to assure project feasibility and continuity. Recognizing that smaller-scale properties with an existing cash flow can provide a greater and faster return on investment, Joe is now applying his background to identify 5-30 unit buildings that bear the potential to increase unit count, to significantly increase the net operating income and the overall value of a building.
Multi-family investment in the Bay Area has probably the highest barriers to entry of any other similar market in the country. Joe is uniquely adept at breaking down those barriers, while maintaining the best interest of investors in the pursuit of their goals for maximum returns.
